I just wanted to say good luck. We're all counting on you.

This stuff is what flight simulators' players dream about.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

No, we dream about reasonably priced peripherals, great internet connections and 20 minutes of fucking peace.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 16 points 7 months ago

I've got like maybe 20h in flight simulator, I use all the assists, I'm still confident I could "totally" land a plane in case of emergency lmao.

[–] Imotali@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I'll take "winwing not charging $300 for what's realistically half the quality of VKB" over trying to land a real plane.... and I own a PA28.

The Airplane! movies hold up, fight me.

(Please don't fight me I'm old and tired.)

[–] bmsok@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

Fight you? You wouldn't even try fighting back except during the playoffs, Kareem!

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Haven't watched them in a long time, I have no doubts they hold up great as movies, but I'm curious if any of the humour wouldn't pass the current PC guidelines.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It passes. It's all visual gags and word play with no butt of the joke. It is possibly the only timeless comedy that will remain funny for generations to come.

[–] aaaa@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

There's a few times they get racial, but it does manage to stay pretty tame about it all.

When they are showing the newscasters around the world, it certainly skirts the line, but doesn't cross it. Much like the fellows speaking "jive", they pull it off without turning the black men themselves into the joke.

It's terrible when you have to live with a drinking problem

Surely this article can't be serious?

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

It's serious (probably). And don't call me Shirley.

[–] ShouldIHaveFun@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It is probably about a small recreational plane and not an airline, despite what they want you to believe with the image. In this case it is plausible.

[–] GratefullyGodless@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You should have fun and watch "Airplane", you might have gotten the reference then.

[–] ShouldIHaveFun@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Will do!

Please excuse me for being so serious 🙂

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 3 points 7 months ago

I'm envious that you get to watch it for the first time.

[–] ShouldIHaveFun@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 months ago

Done! That was fun!

It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Good job they didn't have fish for dinner

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Do we have clearance, Clarence? Roger.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What's our vector, Victor?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Tower's radio clearance, over!

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

A medical emergency? What is it?

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Ted Striker!
